Episode 91: Sir William Lyons digital exhibition experience.
In the latest podcast from the Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club, we meet Andrew Nahum, curator and historian, Peter Grimsdale, author and TV producer and Painting the Cave (a specialist in creative digital technologies) to learn about how the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust has devised a new and original virtual journey through the life and work of one of Britain’s greatest carmakers and designers, Sir William Lyons.
This is the first exhibition devoted to his work, showing how his unique eye for style evolved from motorcycle sidecars to dramatic racing and road cars. It is also the first vehicle museum experience to be originated online. From the first SS sidecars to the Jaguar E-type, it gives a vivid 3-D tour in virtual space through Lyon’s life and his creations.
This ground-breaking online exhibition journey draws on the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust’s collection of vehicles and archives, exhibited at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon and the Coventry Transport Museum. This virtual exhibition gives new access to some of its precious treasures.
In this podcast we talk to the team behind its creation and how they have used technology to bring the story of Jaguar's founder to life. The exhibition is free to all and can be accessed at www.sirwilliamlyons.com using PC, laptop, smart phone or tablet.
